Alligator Energy (AGE) has secured $25.5 million in funding through an institutional placement.
The funds raised will support various uranium development activities, centred around AGE’s Samphire project in South Australia.
AGE announced the placement attracted strong support from both high-net-worth and institutional investors, both in Australia and overseas.
It comprises the issuance of 491 million new ordinary shares at 5.2 cents per share, along with free-attaching options for every two shares subscribed for.
The options can be exercised at 7.8 cents each and will expire two years from the date of issue.
At Samphire, AGE aims to conduct a feasibility study, apply for a mining lease, and expand resource drilling and geophysics programs. Additionally, the company will explore uranium opportunities at Nabarlek North and initiate follow-up drilling at Big Lake.
“Alligator Energy is very pleased to raise these funds to enable the completion of important steps towards production at the Samphire uranium project,” AGE CEO Greg Hall said.
The company has also announced it’ll offer existing shareholders in Australia and New Zealand a share purchase plan (SPP) on the same terms as the institutional placement, targeting an additional $3 million in funding.
Alligator Energy shares were down 17.7 per cent, trading at 5.6 cents at 12:05 pm AEST.
